In her petition, she alleged that Vijay was involved in an extramarital affair with an actress.
Days after the petition went viral, Vijay made a public appearance with Trisha Krishnan. The two have been rumoured to be dating for a long time. Their joint appearance was viewed by many as a statement about their relationship.

About Vijay and Sangeetha’s divorce
Vijay, who is also the chief of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), is currently facing divorce proceedings after Sangeetha reportedly filed a petition in the Chengalpattu family court.
The petition comes amid reports that Sangeetha has been living separately from the actor. According to the filing, she accused Vijay of infidelity, alleging that he was involved in an “adulterous relationship” with an actress.
The petition reportedly states that in April 2021, Sangeetha discovered the alleged relationship, which caused her “deep emotional pain and mental suffering,” amounting to betrayal and a violation of marital trust. It further claims that Vijay continued to publicly associate with the said actress, causing emotional distress and embarrassment to their children.
